Blue Badges at Fairhaven Memorial

by Ray Sanford


Ray Benedicktus, Lisa Grajewski and Randy Woods receive their blue badges from Toni and Mody.

Three club members received their blue badges during our club's offsite visit to Fairhaven Memorial hosted by club member Marla Noel.

We all got a tour of both the public and private areas to see just what goes on "behind the scenes." Even though they are busy, they made sure our members didn't see actual cases. [whew!]

What a lot of members didn't know is the huge amount of talented people with very specialized knowledge it takes to run an organization of this size. Fairhaven employes almost 90 full time staff. Their counselors are trained in both the religious and cultural aspects involved in the loss of a loved one and how to honor their life.
